Consider the Lillies

"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin" Are there any flowers that are more simple in design or a purer white? Are there any of God's flowers with cleaner lines? How graceful they are. See how they so easily sway in the warm summer's breeze. Lovely; quiet and gentle in nature.

How much better off would we be, if like children; we could completely trust our Heavenly Father? How wonderul would it be if, like the lillies through no effort their own, we could grow into the grace and beauty that God has created us to reflect?

How much better would life be if through no effort or our own or anything of our own goodness
 or religion we just came into His likeness, growing tall and strong and pure?

"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

Father may we grow to be graceful; filled with your grace. May we grow today into your likeness for your glory and for your name's sake. Amen.
